Alarm Policy: I must have the alarm codes, password, and alarm company name and phone number. If I do not have this information in my system, I will not be responsible for any false alarms. Alarms must be in good working condition with no numbers sticking or not working properly.

If alarm information is changed at any time, it is the Client’s responsibility to update the information.

Inclement Weather

Although all reasonable efforts will be made to provide the agreed upon services, inclement weather (e.g., snow or ice), national emergencies, acts of God, or other circumstances beyond our control may delay or prevent Pet Sitter’s visit(s). In such a case, Client and/or the emergency contact person will be notified so that other arrangements can be made, if necessary.

To ensure the safety of our Pet Sitters and of the community, we initiate our Inclement Weather Plan when localities close schools due to potentially dangerous weather conditions. When initiated, we announce our Inclement Weather Plan for that day and specific weather concern on our FaceBook page and via email. During inclement weather situations, our pet sitting service schedules may be altered.

Please also note that your sitter is empowered to shorten exercise time during heavy rainfall and lightning and/or thunderstorms or extreme heat. In such cases, exercise time will be replaced with indoor playtime and TLC.

Client/Pet Information

It is a Client’s responsibility to update their client information including emergency contact information and pet details including veterinarian information and feeding instructions. 3DogLazyDay Pet Sitting will follow these detailed instructions to provide the best care to your pets.

Emergency Care Policy

In the event of pet illness or other medical emergency and specified vet is unavailable, pets will be taken to closest vet or Riverside Animal Hospital. Client understands and agrees that attempts will be made to contact them in case of emergency and if Client is unreachable, Pet Sitter has permission to authorize any care that the vet deems necessary for pet’s health, safety and survival. Client agrees to reimburse 3DogLazyDay Pet Sitting for any additional fees and all costs relating to vet care during their absence, which may include x-rays, blood work, surgery and/or other expensive procedures.

Client also needs to have a credit card on file with their veterinary clinic and make sure the emergency contact is aware they are able to make decisions with the Client’s home and pet care in the Client’s absence.
